    • Beans: Tangy, soft backed beans. Bland on the finish.

    • Pork Loin: Good meat & texture. Don’t notice any off-flavor here.

    • Atmosphere: Good structure with the smokehouse on the side (behind the serving counter); Huge rural mailbox on the road; Across from RR crossing. Inside has exposed ductwork and a few flies buzzing around.

    • Hot Link: Good beefy flavor; nice consistency. Not too greasy; casing is a bit tough. Mild spice on the finish – nice.

    • Sausage: Similar to hot link, but more greasy. Has less beef & spice than the hot link. OK.

    • Spare Rib: Juicy rib with chewy ends. Also a victim of flare-up, but creosote is comparatively less noticable than on the brisket. There is a sweetness in the rub, but no spice on the finish.

    • Potato Salad: Creamy, yellow PS. Nice pickle flavor. Solid mustard-based product.

    • Brisket: End piece is brown & crispy… Ugh! Flare-up problems – strong creosote taste. Darnit.
